Portagio Bags Review! -Alexandra

I recently got to work with an amazing line of organizing handbags from Talus called Portagio! All of the bags from Portagio are meant to make life easier! The makes of Portagio understand and appreciate that women are active and often combine many activities into one day which makes it necessary to have some help to organize all of the items that you may need! Portagio wants to help you keep it all under control! I cannot wait to tell you what I thought of the item that I go to review, the Together Tote, show you photos of it, and show you a video that I made to show you all of the pockets! I also will be telling you a bit more about Portagio, so keep reading to learn more!

Talus has been specializing in organizational products since 1985 and focus on creating products that are great for comfort, organizing, and convenience that do not lack in quality. They recently started the Portagio line of organizing handbags! Their handbags are sold directly to you which cuts out any store operating expenses or online marketing costs which helps to lower the price that you pay, making these bags an affordable price. Portagio uses tightly woven bonded nylon for the body of their bags since it is wear, scuff, and water resistant. They use full grain leather for the trim and handles because it wears well with age, stays strong, and have a comfortable feel on your shoulders. Portagio handbags are leightwight for their size so that while you are on the go the bags are not weighing you down! Their bags come in four different sizes: Together Tote, Classic Crossbody Bag, Smart Satchel, and Carefree Crossbody Bag. All of their bags also come in a variety of colors.

Now I am going to tell you about the bag that I received to review, the Together Tote in black! I cannot stop raving about this bag to everyone that I know! As a mom constantly on the go this bag is a God-send! The Together Tote has the perfect amount of organization without being too large to carry around daily. It is perfect for a diaper bag, weekender, bag for work, or carry on! I love that it is lightweight for its large size and that is has pockets to hold anything that I need to bring along with me daily, I also love that it is perfect to dress up or down so it is great to bring along with me to events but also doesn't look out of place in my day to day life running errands with my daughter.

I could not possibly love how organized this bag is anymore than I do. I am obsessed with organization so I feel like this bag is made for me, haha. I know that using this bag I have a place for everything that I need, and I know that I will always be able to find everything easily. The Together Tote has a leather key fob, 5 deep interior pockets, 2 interior bottle pockets, 2 exterior side compartments and 1 slide pocket, 2 zippered compartments (one interior and one exterior), and a padded interior electronic compartment. It also has an exterior travel sleeve which slides over luggage handles to make life easier if using this bag as a carry on! I used this bag while attending Blogger Bash NYC a few weeks ago and it was amazing! I didn't feel as though my arm was tired from carrying it around all day, it held all of the paperwork and other things that I received, and it was easy to find anything that I needed such as business cards, my cell phone charger, pens, and more.

Below is a video so that I could show off all of the pockets since I think that photos don't do this bag justice, so if you are interested in learning more about this bag and how much it holds you should watch it!

I cannot wait to purchase my next bag from Portagio! I have my eye on the Classic Crossbody bag next, which would be perfect for running errands by myself or when we take vacations, I think I need to hint to my husband for Christmas! If you are in the market for a new bag be sure to check out their website because I am sure that they have the perfect bag for everyone!
